Feds: Man made bombs to be placed in Target stores along U.S. East Coast TL-DR Bomber made bombs to damage Target stores so he'd buy the stock dirt cheap. Paid a guy $10k to plant bombs. Guy went to cops instead. Bomb maker in jail.

Walmart beet you there... So after learning about how local Walmarts are having a slight increase in theft. I asked my mom who works at one of these walmarts about their AP, and oh boy. I don't know if this is a company wide issue, or if it's local management being incompetent, but wow. Her...

Being as general and nonspecific as possible to avoid information leaks, does anyone else thing AP will recover from the recent changes? The company has been chipping away our resources and positions for a while, but nothing quite like this. Those poor bastards who have been with the company for...

An employee caught in this show steals thousands and they just fire her? lol wtf at least in my store I always see cops come for lifters.

These guys had the Christmas spirit. Poor employees. Man stabbed, killed inside Target on Christmas Eve; 2 jailed

I know you front end people will have some great stories for us

I was doing a MyFA one time and went into our holding area which is next to the AP office. I saw a customer get busted trying to steal some LEGO City stuff. 3 AP guys took her into the office with her cart and baby. So I went about my day doing more picks. I come back and the lady is escorted...

What's the normal policy for handling locked up merchandise? I know for all/most of the stuff in electronics, you're supposed to unlock carry the item over yourself and have the guest pay for it right then and there..right? But what about other areas of the store? I had a guest want dog flea...

I'm wondering, do you think this is possible to go from electronics TM to APS? There's another store near me, which is hiring for APS. I really have wanted to do APS for about two years now. TPS has came around, but i just don't wanna feel useless and standing around showing presence and i...

has anyone worked at a store that was investigated by corporate? is so: 1- what for? 2- how did they do it? 3- end result? 4- did the fix stick or did it fade?

There was a redwire bulletin today stating that, starting the week of Oct 16 for the entertainment transition, blu-ray keepers are to be removed and thrown into the compactor. ><

Have 1 APS, 2 TPS and 1 ETL-AP. All APS/TPS are 40 hours each. What about you?! I feel like our store is pretty medium/high-volume for theft and feel like that's not enough...

Hey what's up everyone. I'm a new in role Aps trying to decipher some of the a the reports on Appr. My first question is what does "org chart" mean? How is it calculated? What doe the letters (A,B ect.) mean? Lastly what are external investigations? Thank you

Does your store have certain items spider wrapped to a wire that says "see an associate"? At my store the robotic vacuum cleaners and mopping devices, certain headphones and the drones are spider wrapped to such.

Let's hear some of your craziest and weirdest moments! I'll share some stories later on. Also, credit to one of @TallAPGuy 's posts for inspiring me to make this thread.

Ever have a shift just merch protecting? I asked for this yesterday, (and i'm a Electronics TM) to my ETL-AP and was wondering if it was possible. He said he would talk to the Electronics TL. Honestly, i'm surprised a lot of stuff (to my knowledge) has not been stolen recently.

Hey Guys, For quite sometime now I have been trying to get a Lock Case for my Altec Speakers. I've lost about 12-15 of them in the past few months. As most of you already know, the spiderwraps are terrible for these speakers since it's so easy to slip them off. I was wondering if anyone had...

Is anybody else feeling totally abandoned by Spot lately? Or otherwise just experiencing a huge lack of morale in regard to AP? It feels like they simply don't give a single shit about AP anymore. Lately, every AP team in my district has been getting the short end of the stick. Stores with...

If there are any AP TMs out there whose stores have installed self-checkouts, I'm curious to find out what issues you've come across and potential solutions you have for those, in terms of shortage. We just started using ours this week. On the very first day the closing GSTL found blank slips...

Hey, So first time posting on here, but I was just wondering about y'alls experience with ETL's. I've been with Target over a year now and gone through a few ETL's so far and an STL. Basically a red store, but there is the ETL-AP who everybody likes because he seems to actually care and explain...
